Knowing the answer and still keeping it to yourself
Deb joins Sue at a pub quiz, hoping to be asked again. When she knows an answer, she keeps it to herself because being wrong out loud feels worse than missing the point. Talking with Rosie, she remembers trying solo lines at choir, including the early entrance and the second attempt. At the quiz, Deb eventually offers an answer. Sue passes her the pencil. The team gets some questions right and others wrong, and finishes seventh. The part Deb enjoys is having a place in the conversation, without needing a perfect score.
What Rosie brings to the conversation
Rosie listens to the reason Deb stayed quiet and recalls a time she had already tried something imperfectly. The warm part of this story is the team's ordinary response: they keep asking what Deb thinks. If you have a moment you wish you could say aloud, the free Rosie demo gives you somewhere to begin.

Deb: I knew the answer. I let them write the wrong one.
Rosie: A very quiet way to lose an argument.
Deb: Pub quiz with Sue. Who wrote Rebecca? Daphne du Maurier. I knew. Then someone said Agatha Christie, and I nodded along.
Rosie: Even though you wanted to say something.
Deb: I wanted them to ask me again. Not think, 'Here's Deb, being wrong very loudly.' So I sat there, being right absolutely nowhere.
Rosie: You asked me to remember trying those solo lines at choir. You came in early, started again, and still enjoyed singing.
Deb: True. Nobody confiscated my voice. At the quiz, I was waiting until I couldn't possibly be wrong.
Rosie: That sounds like a long wait to join your own team.
Deb: Next round, I said, 'I think it's Saturn.' Sue slid the pencil over. 'Write it down, then.' No interview. No references.
Rosie: You got to be part of it.
Deb: Yes. We got that one right. Then I got a music question spectacularly wrong. They still asked me about the next one.
Rosie: And how did the team finish?
Deb: Seventh. I've never been so pleased to be fairly average.
Rosie: If this felt familiar, like and subscribe for more Rosie and Deb.
